    Here Is Today’s 'Captain Tsubasa: Rivals' Telegram Game Daily Combo

    Captain Tsubasa: Rivals is a fast-rising Telegram tap-to-earn game that puts a different kind of spin on the Hamster Kombat formula. Yes, it’s still largely about tapping the screen and investing your earned in-game coins into upgrades, all with the hopes of a future airdrop. In this case, however, “Captain Tsubasa” is a classic Japanese IP tied to beloved anime and manga series dating back more than 40 years. And the upgrades you’re making are to your squad, your tactics, and your stadium. It’s...

    Here Are Today’s ‘X Empire’ Elon Musk Game Daily Combo, Riddle, and Rebus Solutions

    X Empire (previously Musk Empire) is one of the latest Telegram-based tap-to-earn games that’s catching steam ahead of a planned token airdrop to players. While the game largely builds upon the template of the popular Hamster Kombat, it does so with what’s proven to be a rather compelling hook: by making it all about Elon Musk. You’ll tap a cartoonish version of Elon to earn in-game cash, spend that cash on Elon’s various attributes to upgrade your passive earning skills, and then use his appare...

    Bitcoin Gets a Boost as Mt. Gox Postpones Repayments

    Mt. Gox, once the world's largest Bitcoin exchange until it shut down in 2014 following a series of hacks, has started paying back the billions of dollars in BTC owed to customers. But its deadline for finishing that process has now been delayed, and the price of Bitcoin has been climbing since. Bitcoin is now back above $62,200, rising nearly 3% over the past 24 hours after dipping under $59,000 on Thursday. Traders may be responding to the notion that a delay in Mt. Gox repayments could mean l...

    Are hamsters fighting now? Not exactly—but while Hamster Kombat’s title might be a little misleading, this Telegram-based tapping game quickly became a dominant leader in the play-to-earn space by expanding upon Notcoin’s winning model. Hamster Kombat racked up over 300 million total players before launching its HMSTR token and airdrop for players via The Open Network (TON) in late September 2024. It is one of the year's biggest gaming token launches, based on the peak value. But Hamster Kombat...

While it’s true that CryptoPunk 1563 was transacted this afternoon, and that 24,000 ETH—or $56.3 million worth at the time—was "paid" for the asset, there were both surface-level and behind-the-scenes red flags that quickly cast doubt on the legitimacy of the purchase. First off, this particular CryptoPunk was last purchased for about $69,000 worth...
